ranked after having a bye week. They
are favored by 12 points at Wisconsin.
The Badgers who have had good seasons
in recent years has had a bad one this
time. They are 2-6 overall however 0-5
in the Big Ten. There two latest losses
were against Ohio State and Oregon.
The two wins were right at the beginning
of the season. The schedule won't get
easier after playing the Huskies. The
Huskies have played the Badgers only
twice winning both easily. The last
game was in 1992.
The Badgers are averaging 12.5 points
a game while giving up 23.9 points a game.
So the Huskies being favorites for about
the same margin.
The Badgers are averaging 109.8 yards
rushing which is ok however throwing
the ball just over 152 yards which is
low in this day. The defense is giving up
a yard more than the offense is running however are 230 yards threw the air so
almost 80 yards difference. The trouble
to is the defense isn't causing any
turnovers while the offense is at 1.5
per game.
Senior Hunter Simmons has started the
last four games at quarterback.Right now
he is expected to however it isn't a sure
thing. Simmons has thrown only one
touchdown pass which was in the last game
and the only points against Oregon.
Sophomore Danny O'Neil started the
first four games so he could get the
nod and true freshman Carter Smith
could as well. We might have to wait
until game time to find out.
Starting running back Dilin Jones has
been out a few games with injuries.
He is leading with 300 yards on the
season and he has two touchdownd.
Backup running back Darrion Dupree
has missed action too. Injuries have
been a major reason the Badgers
are having a bad season. Gideon
Ituka the third running back is now
the starter. He had the best day
as far as rushing yards this season
with 85 yards against Oregon.
When it comes to receivers senior
Vinny Anthony ll leads in receptions
with 26 catches for 291 yards and
one touchdown. Senior tight end
Lance Mason is second with 22
catches for 276 yards and leads
with three touchdowns. Sophomore
Trech Kekshina the slot receiver is
third in receptions with 16 but doesn't
have any touchdowns. Backup
receiver Jayden Ballard has only
seven catches however three are
touchdowns. Outside of Vinny, Trech and Lance no one else has double digits
in receptions.
The Huskies are 2-1 on the road after
last year where they lost every game.
We hope they will win again then
moving up the conference. Go Dawgs!
